If it is not clear by now that The Wendy Williams Show is the can’t-miss daytime drama of the moment, please accept the clip above as evidence. On Tuesday’s show, while standing in the middle of her audience, Wendy Williams explained that she has been staying at a sober living facility to combat addiction. She…

At first, it felt like something was being taken away from us. Upon the announcement of Leaving Neverland’s premiere at Sundance, and then the credulous response from critics and other attendees of the festival, I hoped that those responsible for or supporting the documentary were wrong. I didn’t want Michael Jackson…

You might think that someone who is facing a trial for allegedly raping a teenage girl while she repeatedly told him to stop wouldn’t be making public comments alluding to more forcible sex, but then if you were talking about rapper Kodak Black, you’d be wrong.

On December 8, 1993, La Toya Jackson announced to the world that her brother Michael was a pedophile. She was supposed to be on vacation in Tel Aviv, Israel, but duty called, and so she held a press conference. Gossiping about her family at that point had effectively become La Toya Jackson’s full-time job. She was…

After HBO aired the second part of the highly controversial Leaving Neverland Monday night, the cable network broadcast a one-hour discussion featuring Wade Robson and James Safechuck, whose abuse allegations regarding Michael Jackson were the documentary’s subjects. Also in attendance was Leaving Neverland director Dan…

After over two months of absence, Wendy Williams has returned to The Wendy Williams Show. She arrived onstage Monday with a blonde bob, a wad of gum in her mouth, and a vague story about the health reason(s) behind her hiatus.

At one point in Wednesday’s season finale of The Masked Singer, Nicole Scherzinger (the best judge of anything this side of Judy) said that one of the contestants has the voice of “Baby Jesus and Fergie.” Together in harmony? Alternating one after the other? Fergie playing Baby Jesus in a local Christmas pageant? What…

With Leaving Neverland’s imminent broadcast, culture as we know it faces a brutal reckoning. The four-hour documentary, which will air Sunday and Monday on HBO in two-hour installments, tells two alleged accounts of child sexual abuse suffered at the hands of Michael Jackson in stunning, nauseating detail. It surveys…

If ever a conversation did not call for a “Gotta hear both sides!” interjection, surely it is the one about the years of sexual abuse that Wade Robson and James Safechuck say they suffered at the hands of Michael Jackson. The late pop star’s side has always been clear, and is reiterated in the documentary Leaving…

Once again, the Oscars have awarded a movie about race told from the perspective of a white protagonist, directed and written by white guys. But you don’t have to settle for Green Book. Tonight the Smithsonian Channel will air a documentary about the actual Green Book, which guided black motorists to safe businesses…

In a Good Morning America interview Monday with Robin Roberts, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson claimed there was a host of more evidence suggesting that Jussie Smollett staged his January hate attack that the public had not yet seen.

If Jussie Smollett faked his hate-crime attack in the early morning hours of January 29, 2019, as the Chicago Police Department seems confident is the case and claims to have corroboration to back up that confidence, did he think he’d get away with it? And how could he think that when it was all performed so sloppily,…

The most riveting thing about this week’s episode of The Masked Singer wasn’t the double elimination that unveiled some more...people who you probably predicted and whose career profile totally match those of people who would absolutely go on this show. No, the most riveting thing was the ongoing debate as to whether…

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson on Thursday delivered a blistering statement to the public on the alleged hate-crime hoax perpetrated by Jussie Smollett, who has been charged with a felony of disorderly conduct for falsifying a police report, and who turned himself into police early Thursday morning.

Here is a koala that news outlets have deemed “sexy.” “This koala is sexier than you,” says the New York Post, quite rudely. The Daily Mail says that this koala, in addition to being sexy, is a “laid-back Lothario” and a “saucy marsupial.”

On this week’s episode of Dr. Pimple Popper, we met Ken and Kim. She’s a popaholic, he has a body full of clogged pores to pop. That’s at least part of why their relationship works. This episode aired on Valentine’s Day. There are no coincidences.
